Pastel Goth!

Pastels and I have never been friends. In fact I have always hated pastels. When I heard about the "pastel goth" trend I just wrinkled my nose. Pastels. Bluueeh!

Last week I read a blogpost, though, by The Cemetery Dreamer that made me change my mind about the whole pastel goth thing though. :) Pastels can be awesome! Indeed.
I was so inspired by that particular outfit so my mind directly began to conjure a makeup look combining pastels and goth.

This is what I came up with:

The light purple is Wisteria by Makeup Geek, which is a color that I normally use for blending or highlighting purple looks. This time it is the main focus of the look and I think it is lovely combined with black eyeliner. In the crease I've used Cupcake, also by Makeup Geek, which is a muted pale pink that is perfect for blending the purple into the skin.

Arched brows contributes to the gothicness of this look.

And of course, when wearing such a "nice" eye makeup it is only fair to combine it with black lips. :)

Soon I've completed my first week at my trainee job and I LOVE it! :D I work at a cosmetics counter in a department store, which means meeting a lot of nice people and talk about makeup all day long. It's just awesome!

Anyways, thank you so much for reading and hope to see you soon! :) Have a lovely day!

Thank you so much, I'm a little bit giddy that I inspired you! This look is really cool. I love the contrast between the soft shades and the striking liner and brows (I want your brows so badly!) I'm going to re-create this look when I next wear my pink jumper! I have a suitable shade of purple already, but I'm definitely going to have to get Cupcake now.

I'm glad you love your trainee job, what a dream to be surrounded by make-up all day!
